Information processing apparatus, image forming apparatus, and non-transitory computer readable medium for providing notice of inconsistent settings

Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a receiving unit that receives operation on an operator displayed on a screen for operation; and a controller that, in a case where there is a difference between information on a managed setting concerning a process registered in the operator and information for notification of the setting displayed in association with the operator, suspends execution of the process and presents information indicative of the difference.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
 an input device that receives an operation on an operator displayed on a screen for operation; and 
 a processor programmed to, in a case where there is a difference between information on a managed setting concerning a process registered in the operator and information for notification of the setting displayed in association with the operator, suspends execution of the process and presents information indicative of the difference, wherein 
 the difference occurs in a case where part of the information for notification of the setting is hidden by another part of the information for notification of the setting. 
 
     
     
       2. The information processing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the hidden part of the information is information indicating that execution of the process is permitted without displaying a screen for entry or confirmation after the operation on the operator. 
 
     
     
       3. The information processing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the other part of the information is information indicative of need to display a screen for entry or confirmation before execution of the process. 
 
     
     
       4. The information processing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the information on the managed setting is acquired when the operator is operated. 
 
     
     
       5. The information processing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the information on the managed setting is acquired when a screen for entry or confirmation displayed after the operation on the operator is operated. 
 
     
     
       6. The information processing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the setting has a plurality of modes that progress in different ways and are selectable by a user, and the difference is a difference in mode. 
 
     
     
       7. The information processing apparatus according to  claim 6 , wherein
 one of the plurality of modes requires an additional operation of the user for execution of the process, and another one of the plurality of modes does not require an additional operation of the user for execution of the process. 
 
     
     
       8. The information processing apparatus according to  claim 7 , wherein
 in the other one of the plurality of modes, the process is executed after elapse of a predetermined period from a timing of display of a screen for confirmation. 
 
     
     
       9. The information processing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein
 an additional operation of a user is received during suspension of execution of the process that is suspended for notification of the information indicative of the difference. 
 
     
     
       10. The information processing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein
 a plurality of modes selectable by a user are present as a method of notification of the information indicative of the difference; and 
 one of the plurality of modes requires an additional operation of a user for execution of the process, and another one of the plurality of modes does not require user's additional operation for execution of the process. 
 
     
     
       11. The information processing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein
 additional information different from the information indicative of the difference is presented during suspension of execution of the process. 
 
     
     
       12. The information processing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein
 suspension of execution of the process is executed in a case where execution of the process costs money. 
 
     
     
       13. The information processing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein
 suspension of execution of the process is executed in a case where an amount of charged money differs due to the difference between the information. 
 
     
     
       14. The information processing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein
 suspension of execution of the process is executed in a case where communication with an outside occurs as a result of execution of the process. 
 
     
     
       15. The information processing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the information indicative of the difference is presented in a more noticeable manner than the information for notification of the setting of the process displayed in association with the operator. 
 
     
     
       16. The information processing apparatus according to  claim 15 , wherein
 the information indicative of the difference is presented on a nearer side than the operator by using a screen different from the operator. 
 
     
     
       17. The information processing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the process is executable even in a case where at least part of the information for notification of the setting of the process is not displayed in association with the operator. 
 
     
     
       18. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process comprising:
 receiving an operation that is input on an operator displayed on a screen for operation; and 
 in a case where there is a difference between information on a managed setting concerning a process registered in the operator and information for notification of the setting displayed in association with the operator, suspending execution of the process and presenting information indicative of the difference, wherein 
 the difference occurs in a case where part of the information for notification of the setting is hidden by another part of the information for notification of the setting. 
 
     
     
       19. An information processing apparatus comprising:
 means for receiving an operation on an operator displayed on a screen for operation; and 
 means for, in a case where there is a difference between information on a managed setting concerning a process registered in the operator and information for notification of the setting displayed in association with the operator, suspending execution of the process and presenting information indicative of the difference, wherein 
 the difference occurs in a case where part of the information for notification of the setting is hidden by another part of the information for notification of the setting.
